The machine housekeeper recounted the life of a robot Andrew. It was amazing that I, as a human being, experienced the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the robot's inner world. The film doesn't mention dreams at all, but I can see Andrew's dream of becoming a human being throughout the film. The film makes Andrew different from human beings but also comes from the strength and persistence of human beings.
When the male host showed the robot housekeeper to his family, the little lady's eyes were filled with curiosity and fear, and the eldest daughter showed her disdain. At the beginning, it shows the comparison of the attitudes of the two daughters towards the machine housekeeper. And when Andrew introduced the three rules for robots, the whole family was shocked and frightened. Except for the male host, the family's attitude towards Andrew was not so good. This was enough to see Andrew's heart when Andrew cleaned up the scene in the dark and dirty basement.
When Andrew picked up the faulty items, he just chose to repair the gramophone under the strict program rules of the robot, which was also the opportunity for Andrew to become interested in music later. When the eldest lady asked Andrew to jump out of the window, Andrew didn't hesitate, which showed Andrew's absolute obedience as a machine housekeeper. The broken Andrew limping back to the room made people feel extremely sympathetic and pitiful for Andrew. After seeing this scene, the host asked to treat Andrew as a human being at the family meeting. In fact, he was not only treating Andrew as an adult at this time, but also borrowing Andrew to educate his daughter. The eldest daughter on the beach obeyed Andrew's advice and came down from a high place, which also shows the success of the male master's education. And the little lady gave Andrew the cherished glass toy to open her heart to Andrew.
At this time, the first climax of the whole film came. As a robot, Andrew actually taught himself sculpture and made a beautiful pony toy for the little lady. At this time, Andrew has begun to transform from a machine and began to have human nature. Perhaps due to the programming influence of the master, Andrew did something different from a normal robot. And this pony sculpture has also become an inseparable bond between Andrew and the little lady, which made Andrew and the little lady have an inseparable intersection later, which also shows that ordinary robots cannot make people feel emotional, only when the machine has humanity. time to resonate with them.
The host was shocked to see the scene of Andrew listening to music in the basement, but he did not break the peace of Andrew listening to music, and quietly walked out of the basement door. "turned into "family". In the film, Andrew's little details of human nature abound when he gets along with his family, with a different kind of cuteness and humor.
The man wanted to understand how Andrew's anomaly happened. The company that made the robot was afraid of affecting the company's reputation and wanted to take Andrew back. It is as simple as a "home appliance". And the host's decision to teach Andrew something that was not procedurally was also an important factor in Andrew's later transformation into a human being. The biggest difference between robots and humans is that robots have unlimited time, while human life is limited. The film expresses this in great detail. Years later, even though technology has developed to the point where artificial organs appear, which can prolong human lifespan, it is a small The granddaughter was still reluctant to accept it and chose to accept the end of her life. This is also the contradiction that Andrew has been facing throughout the whole article, and the contradiction that makes Andrew feel the most painful.
The film fully shows the heart of Andrew, a robot, to the audience in a warm way, allowing the audience to experience the inner world of the robot, which is also the most successful point of the film.
The scene of playing the piano from far to near shows the changes of ten years, but in Andrew's world, it may be just a moment of fingering. When it came to selling the watches and clocks made by Andrew, the young lady insisted that the income from the sales of watches and clocks be controlled by Andrew, but the mother said that Andrew was just a machine. At this time, the husband, the master, was actually faced with a choice in his heart. He felt that the daughter said that It was correct, but he had to take into account his wife's thoughts, but in the end he handed over the income to Andrew.
When the young lady mentioned to Andrew that she wanted to get married, it was clear that Andrew was important to the young lady, but because of the important principle that man and machine could not be combined, the young lady still chose to marry the wrong person. As compensation for her heart, the little lady invited Andrew to be the receptionist of the wedding. In fact, the little lady's heart is extremely confused. She loves Andrew, but she can't face her heart.
One of the most criticized points in the film is Andrew's love line. In fact, it was Andrew's determination to grow old with his little granddaughter as a human being that made Andrew's almost impossible goal of becoming a human finally realized. In my opinion, the small flaw in the film is that the description of the hero's emotions is not so full, but it is enough to make people feel the regret and sadness of the hero watching his relatives leave him. When Andrew mentioned that he wanted to be free, the host felt extremely tormented. Andrew had grown to such a degree under his own education that apart from his cold body, he already possessed the most essential human desires in his heart, namely, free. My father met Andrew on his deathbed, and when Andrew said that he was happy to serve you, perhaps it was a good ending for the film to end here.
Years later, when Andrew returned from his journey, he mistook his little granddaughter for a little lady. Robots have a different concept of time from human beings. Just imagine when a person returns to his homeland after 30 years and sees his own son. People who look like playmates at the time will definitely know that this is the aftermath of an old friend. And this is the biggest contradiction between Andrew and mankind that has been running through the whole article, that is, time. The love between Andrew and his little granddaughter was finally realized, which is also a sign of Andrew's true maturity as a human being. Andrew changed from obeying orders to dare to make mistakes and dare to pursue what he loves.
The film tells the story of Andrew's life humorously and warmly. He has changed from cold to warm, from hard to soft, from small to great, and from an immortal body to a human with gray hair and the end of his life. In the end, when Andrew and Posha faced death hand in hand, I felt infinite emotion in my heart. Andrew spent his whole life to the end only wanted to die as a human being, and I had no sorrow, but just respect for life.
